About Me
After 12 years of working in marketing and product management, I was lucky to completely switch careers to do something I truly love. I was able to bring together my many years of marathons, cycling and ironman training then combine it with continued education in strength training, nutrition coaching and pre/post natal fitness. For the last 16 years, it has been so exciting to work with my clients to transform their body composition, come back from injury/illness, lose weight and feel better, meet their racing goals, get stronger mentally & physically and have a strong & healthy pregnancy. My training approach is always a tracked plan that is built on 5 dimensions:
-
best range of Movement
-
Consistent Strength Training
-
Recovery methods including nutrition and sleep
-
Heart / Cardio health
-
Personal Mental Wellness
I aim to change my clients "normal" to a "new normal" and they never go back. I believe that everything can be fixed or improved no matter your age. My goal is to empower my clients with homework and tools that they can easily encorporate into their daily lives to always get stronger. I believe that your body tells you what it needs and if you are living in a body that feels foreign, you can once again "know it".
